"What's going to be dangerous for Miggy, and I mean this respectfully, he could run into one of these 'Wonderboy' stories," Leyland told WXYT radio in Detroit. "Trout, he's one of the best young players I've ever seen. At the same time, when you do it over a period of time, a little bit longer, I think that should have something to say about that. That should be part of it. Although this certainly is a great story with the Trout kid. He's unbelievable.”

Cabrera ranks second in the AL in batting average (.322, behind Trout’s .345), is fourth in homers (29) and is tied for first in RBIs (95).

The Detroit News notes Cabrera, the reigning AL batting champion, has finished in the top five in AL MVP voting in each of the past three seasons.
